Everton supposedly targeting Luc Castaignos

The Premier League Owl

Luc Castaignos is a name that has been consistently linked with West Ham over the past ten days, as the papers seem pretty convinced that he’s part of Sam Allardyce’s plans to bolster his forward line.

The former Feyenoord forward has made just six appearances since joining Inter Milan, and is presumed to be on the search for regular first-team football.

TalkSport, that beacon of internet truth, is now reporting that Everton have taken an interest in the player, as David Moyes fears being financially outmuscled in a bid for Mario Mandzukic - who is also believed to be on his wishlist.

It’s very, very flimsy - and given that the player is still only 19, it’s hard to see Inter being ready to give up on him after just one season. Castaignos showed a lot of promise in the Eredivisie, and he netted 15 times in 34 games in his first full season, so there’s definitely something there talent-wise.

Maybe a loan for Everton, but it seems unlikely to be anything more than that - probably just TalkSport pulling names and clubs out of a hat again.
